Would everyone please mark you calendars to email me next year to make sure I get my butt into the woods the first week in May. The woods are bustin’ out!!
Kaia and I went to the annual WNC Herb Festival today and shopped for 4 hours! I gave her 25 one-dollar bill in a little purse so that she could buy the herbs she wanted in her garden and keep track of her money. She did a great job, and so many of the vendors thought that she was so cute with her little purse, that they cave her stuff for free. For her garden she got: Sweet Annie, Lavender, Wood Betony, Dill, Fennel, a roma tomato, a bottle gourd, and sweet grass. For my garden, I got: Stevia, Wood Betony, Two Tomatoes, basil, Feverfew, Rue, Marigolds, Blue Vervain, Motherwort, … I think that is it… Oh, I also got a hops vine… but that will go in near the house once it is done.
Sunday I leave for a week of studying with Rosita Arvigo so I can learn (professional) Maya Abdominal Massage. It won’t be in belize, unfortunately. It’s in NH, but that will give me a chance to see relatives that I haven’t seen in many years!
Oh, man…it’s been years since I’ve had morels from the woods! City Boy was afraid I had the wrong kind when I found some growing here back when we first moved in, so wouldn’t let us eat them. Silly boy. Now I’m craving after seeing your pics!
